SureShot Blue Vein Petunia is a tender herbaceous perennial with a semi-trailing mounded habit that is grown as an annual when outside. Its small green foliage is coated by non-stop flowering of large lavender funnel-shaped flowers with pronounced deep blue veins and matching throats that bloom through spring until frost. Flowers best in part shade and rich, well-drained soils. Petunias do very well as container and house plants. SureShot has uniform habits and flowering time.
